Traveling with an Infant! :)

Friday Eli and I drove to Chattanooga for a celebration lunch with the Wagners! My cousin Meg graduated from GPS that morning (Eli and I did not make it... ha). It was quite an interesting trip to Chattanooga since Eli's midmorning meal fell at Soddy Daisy! I will not go into details, but all you mom's out there know how much "fun" it can be to travel with an infant who eats every 3 hours. :) I tried to treat this like a dry run since we will be traveling to Destin in 3 weeks. If anyone has any advice or recommendations for feeding during traveling, please email them to me or post them if your not shy! (rmcpharmd@comcast.net) I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes and what works, or does not work, for us! Thanks!

All I can say girl is find the rest stops! That is what we had to do. We finally got to where our trips to Rockwood would take like 4 hours because of all of the stops that we had to make. When you are nursing you cant just whip out the bottle. I hope no one gets offended by me writing this, but you could pump while you are in the car. I have done this before and then you can feed Eli while you are on the move from a bottle if he is able to take one now. That makes things a little better if you are in a hurry. I have never tried it, but I had a friend who actually fed her child while she was in the carseat. Yes, you heard right!! I have so many funny visuals of that one! Good luck!!
